Goldgloves road to the INBF Hercules

So heres the plan: In june of next year I want to compete in the Hercules show

Im currently sitting anywhere from 180-185..I want to bulk up to around 210 and then cut and compete at 190-195. My idea is to dirty bulk up to 195ish and then clean bulk the remaining 10-15 pounds. Since the show is in June I estimate my cut to start in April..I have a fast fast fast metabolism so that should assist in that aspect. This is gonna take a **** load of dedication but I want to prove it to myself that I can do it. Of course I would LOVE to win but just getting in good enough shape to compete will be an accomplishment. What I need from you guys is criticism and critiquing of my workouts/diet. Also dont be afraid to throw in a compliment

Ill be taking current pictures in the coming days and then again once a month i think.

My current split is as follows
Day 1 - Chest/abs
Day 2 - Back
Day 3- Legs/abs
Day 4- Arms
Day 5 - shoulders/abs

usually i take 2 days off a week..im gonna dedicate one of those days to cardio and abs once it gets closer to show time.

Limitations are for people that have them, and excuses are for people that need them.

Are there any areas of your body that are seriously lagging behind the others?

seriously lagging..id say my calves definitely, my forearms need work and my upper chest needs some more improvement. I have a nice solid frame to build on, my shoulders are massive and broad..my back needs a little more definition but the calves, forearms and upper chest are my 3 biggest concerns

Dinner - mom and dad brought me leftovers from this italian place called mamas..warrior you might have been there before..anyway it was 2 big chicken breasts with pasta and bacon in some delicious creme sauce

...post rest of meals later

Workout - Legs
Warm up - squats w/ bar (45lb)X10X2

Squats -
135X10X2
225X10X2
255X10
275X10
315X8
365X4
225X12
135X10X2....Quads were totally shot after all the squats but I felt strong so I kept doing more sets of them

Leg press (sled is 103lbs) -
283X15X2
463X10X2

Hamstring curls -
85X15X4

Notes : All the squat sets burnt out my quads but on the plus side they look big and cut and vascular. My calf muscles look pretty decent but obviously its because theyre swollen.
